This book includes poems published between 2009 and 2012 mostly, whose themes of domestic life, work, suffering, and redemption still resonate. The collection includes free verse poems, as well as works using and experimenting with forms. A number of previously unpublished pieces have been added, including a selection of haiku ("Bony Tree Fingers"). Long time fans may remember the three sequences on grief in the section titles "Three Laments." Representing a significant phase in the author's career, the volume should be an important part of any poetry lover's collection.
